- An experimental nuclear fusion reactor in China maintained its reaction for more than 1,000 seconds, or over 17 minutes, which is a new record.
- Nuclear fusion is what produces the energy in the Sun, or any other star.
- In December 2021, the United Kingdom-based JET laboratory set a new record in the amount of energy produced through fusion.
- It has produced about 12 MW of electricity for five seconds, enough to cater to the demands of about 10,000 homes for that period of time.
- There were at least 43 Fusion research companies operating in more than 10 countries.
